How to treat prisoners of war, the rules about spies and surprises, how soldiers feel about new weapons, what different parts of a uniform mean, codes of honor, notions of justice and fairness, customs (such as kissing the earth before a charge), and the laws of war—these and other military matters are the subjects of this informative 1885 work.
